MUSIC. ART.

AUSTIN, TEXAS

Here I Am, a new track by Nik Parr & The Selfless Lovers. Recorded LIVE by ATX Artist Spotlight.

This third studio effort demonstrates the maturation of the band, with Parr leading his team of young, talented musicians with precocious ability. The kid might be one of the hardest working artists we’ve met.
— -Cosmic Clash
Parr has talent for songs that find common ground between FM bombast and AM gold.
— Sound and Sound
Elements of soul and funk are often found in their work but the highlight is Parr’s contagious energy which permeates everything the band does
— Greg Ackerman, Austin Music Writer
